It seems you are undecided as to form or function.
Form is in the eye of the beholder whereas function serves a purpose.
Maybe some spoilers can tick both boxes.
For form I'd try "Search" on here, or further out on the www
For function I suggest you have a look at @Petrus  Southern Belle thread.
For myself I remain unspoilt.

I have a TRD spoiler, but only because it was on the car when I bought it and they aren't cheap!

However, these cars barely benefit from a spoiler or 'wing' when being used on track.

No sane driving on public roads will ever make a spoiler useful.  Nor should it.

So it's all about appearance.

Personally I find big racing wings on MR2s faintly ridiculous.

As to whether it can be functional on an MR2, bicycles give all the answer you need  ;) 

Toyota themselves saw the chin stip fit on the FL as well as repeating the front wheel ´dams´ for the rear.
Ah and see the flip-up top down thingy behind the seats basically says it all.
Carolyn made transparent plexi inserts for behind the A-pillar. They reduce air turbulace from about 60 km/h.

Bottom line is that aero works at any speed. On my car it is over 10% extra traction at legal speeds. You can seen that as performance margin or as extra safety margin.

I personally find the subject hugely fun and rewarding as it is basically weightless extra traction at little or no cost. Done with it on my MR² and currently at it with my vintage Vespa.

Enjoy!
